CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/664,750 filed Oct. 31, 2012, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to the uploading of photographs and, more particularly, to the displaying of uploaded photographs in a temporal fashion.

BACKGROUND

Included within the Google+ social network is the ability to upload photographs to the social network for storage and sharing. For example, the Google+ social network allows users to automatically upload photographs as they are taken with a digital camera (included within a cell phone) to private photo albums included within the Google+ social network so that they may be shared at a later date.

Unfortunately, when uploading photographs to social networks, they are often uploaded in batches, in which hundreds of photographs are simultaneously uploaded to the social network and placed into a common album. This may make it very difficult to locate specific photographs at a later date, as there is no temporal aspect to the upload.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED IMPLEMENTATIONS

In FIGS. 1 & 2, there is shown data management process 10. Data management process 10 may be implemented as a server-side process, a client-side process, or a hybrid server-side/client-side process. For example, data management process 10 may be implemented as a purely server-side process via data management process 10 s. Alternatively, data management process 10 may be implemented as a purely client-side process via one or more of client-side application 10 c 1, client-side application 10 c 2, client-side application 10 c 3, and client-side application 10 c 4. Alternatively still, data management process 10 may be implemented as a hybrid server-side/client-side process via data management process 10 s in combination with one or more of client-side application 10 c 1, client-side application 10 c 2, client-side application 10 c 3, and client-side application 10 c 4. Accordingly, data management process 10 as used in this disclosure may include any combination of data management process 10 s, client-side application 10 c 1, client-side application 10 c 2, client-side application 10 c 3, and client-side application 10 c 4.

As will be discussed below in greater detail, data management process 10 may receive 100 an indication of a first photo being uploaded to a web-based resource. A first capture date may be determined 102 for the first photo. A first object may be associated 104 with the first photo. The first object may be positioned 106 within a graphical representation of a calendar based, at least in part, upon the first capture date.

Data management process 10 s may be a server application and may reside on and may be executed by computing device 12, which may be connected to network 14 (e.g., the Internet or a local area network). Examples of computing device 12 may include, but are not limited to: a personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant, a data-enabled cellular telephone, a notebook computer, a television with one or more processors embedded therein or coupled thereto, a server computer, a series of server computers, a mini computer, a mainframe computer, or a dedicated network device.

The instruction sets and subroutines of data management process 10 s, which may be stored on storage device 16 coupled to computing device 12, may be executed by one or more processors (not shown) and one or more memory architectures (not shown) included within computing device 12. Examples of storage device 16 may include but are not limited to: a hard disk drive; a tape drive; an optical drive; a RAID device; a random access memory (RAM); a read-only memory (ROM); and all forms of flash memory storage devices.

Network 14 may be connected to one or more secondary networks (e.g., network 18), examples of which may include but are not limited to: a local area network; a wide area network; or an intranet, for example.

Examples of client-side applications 10 c 1, 10 c 2, 10 c 3, 10 c 4 may include but are not limited to a web browser, a game console user interface, or a specialized application (e.g., an application running on e.g., the Android™ platform or the iPhone™ platform). The instruction sets and subroutines of client-side applications 10 c 1, 10 c 2, 10 c 3, 10 c 4, which may be stored on storage devices 20, 22, 24, 26 (respectively) coupled to client electronic devices 28, 30, 32, 34 (respectively), may be executed by one or more processors (not shown) and one or more memory architectures (not shown) incorporated into client electronic devices 28, 30, 32, 34 (respectively). Examples of storage devices 20, 22, 24, 26 may include but are not limited to: hard disk drives; tape drives; optical drives; RAID devices; random access memories (RAM); read-only memories (ROM), and all forms of flash memory storage devices.

Examples of client electronic devices 28, 30, 32, 34 may include, but are not limited to, data-enabled, cellular telephone 28, laptop computer 30, personal digital assistant 32, personal computer 34, a notebook computer (not shown), a server computer (not shown), a gaming console (not shown), and a dedicated network device (not shown). Client electronic devices 28, 30, 32, 34 may each execute an operating system, examples of which may include but are not limited to Microsoft Windows™, Android™, WebOS™, iOS™, Redhat Linux™, or a custom operating system.

Users 36, 38, 40, 42 may access data management process 10 directly through network 14 or through secondary network 18. Further, data management process 10 may be connected to network 14 through secondary network 18, as illustrated with link line 44.

The various client electronic devices (e.g., client electronic devices 28, 30, 32, 34) may be directly or indirectly coupled to network 14 (or network 18). For example, data-enabled, cellular telephone 28 and laptop computer 30 are shown wirelessly coupled to network 14 via wireless communication channels 44, 46 (respectively) established between data-enabled, cellular telephone 28, laptop computer 30 (respectively) and cellular network/bridge 48, which is shown directly coupled to network 14. Further, personal digital assistant 32 is shown wirelessly coupled to network 14 via wireless communication channel 50 established between personal digital assistant 32 and wireless access point (i.e., WAP) 52, which is shown directly coupled to network 14. Additionally, personal computer 34 is shown directly coupled to network 18 via a hardwired network connection.

WAP 52 may be, for example, an IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, Wi-Fi, and/or Bluetooth device that is capable of establishing wireless communication channel 50 between personal digital assistant 32 and WAP 52. As is known in the art, IEEE 802.11x specifications may use Ethernet protocol and carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (i.e., CSMA/CA) for path sharing. The various 802.11x specifications may use phase-shift keying (i.e., PSK) modulation or complementary code keying (i.e., CCK) modulation, for example. As is known in the art, Bluetooth is a telecommunications industry specification that allows e.g., mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants to be interconnected using a short-range wireless connection.

Data management process 10 may be included within, executed within, or a portion of social network 54. The phrase social network may be used to refer to a group of technologies (e.g. web-based and mobile technologies) that allow for users to engage in a quasi-real-time, interactive dialogue.

For illustrative purposes, assume that data-enabled, cellular telephone 28 includes a digital camera and that user 36 uses data-enabled, cellular telephone 28 to take photographs. Further assume that user 36 is a user of social network 54 and uploads his photographs to social network 54.

While the following discussion is going to be directed to user 36 uploading photographs to social network 54 (e.g., Google+™), this is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be a limitation of this disclosure, as other configurations are possible and are considered to be within the scope of this disclosure and the related claims. For example, user 36 may upload photographs to any web-based resource, such as an online photo repository (e.g., Picasa™) or an online storage system (e.g., Dropbox™).

Assume for illustrative purposes that user 36 takes a digital photograph (e.g., digital photograph 56) using data-enabled, cellular telephone 28 and uploads digital photograph 56 to social network 54. The process of uploading digital photograph 56 to social network 54 may be either a manual process or an automated process. For example, after taking digital photograph 56, user 36 may need (with a manual process) to select the photo and select e.g. upload to social network 54. Alternatively, after taking digital photograph 56, the photograph may be automatically uploaded (with an automated process) to social network 54.

Upon digital photograph 56 being uploaded to social network 54, data management process 10 may receive 100 an indication (e.g. indication 58) of a first photo (e.g. first digital photograph 56) being uploaded to a web-based resource (e.g. social network 54). For example, upon receiving first digital photograph 56, social network 54 may generate indication 58, which may be provided to data management process 10.

Data management process 10 may determine 102 a first capture date for the first photo (e.g. first digital photograph 56). For example, upon receiving indication 58, data management process 10 may determine 102 the date (e.g. first capture date) on which digital photograph 56 was taken. This first capture date may be defined within indication 58 or may require data management process 10 to examine metadata (not shown) associated with first digital photograph 56.

Referring also to FIG. 3, data management process 10 may associate 104 a first object (e.g. first object 150) with the first photo (e.g. first digital photograph 56). Examples of first object 150 may include but are not limited to a text-based first object or a thumbnail of first digital photograph 56. An example of such a text-based first object may include the name of first digital photograph 56. An example of such a thumbnail may include a miniaturized version of first digital photograph 56.

Data management process 10 may position 106 first object 150 within graphical representation 152 of a calendar (e.g., utilized/available within social network 54) based, at least in part, upon the first capture date. For example, assume that user 36 is attending a flower show on 13 Oct. 2012 and, during the course of the flower show, user 36 takes first digital photograph 56 (e.g. a picture of a flower) and uploads the same to social network 54. Data management process 10 may determine 102 a first capture date for first digital photograph 56 (which in this example is 13 Oct. 2012) and may associate 104 first digital photograph 56 with first object 150 (which in this example is a thumbnail of first digital photograph 56). As first digital photograph 56 was taken on 13 Oct. 2012, data management process 10 may position 106 first object 150 within graphical representation 152 of a calendar for 13 Oct. 2012.

Data management process 10 may also determine 108 a first capture time for the first photo (e.g. first digital photograph 56). For example, assume that first digital photograph 56 was taken at 9:00 AM. This first capture time may be defined within indication 58 or may require data management process 10 to examine metadata associated with first digital photograph 56.

If such a first capture time is available for e.g. first digital photograph 56, when positioning 106 first object 150 within graphical representation 152 of the calendar, data management process 10 may position 110 first object 150 within graphical representation 152 of the calendar based, at least in part, upon the first capture date and the first capture time. Accordingly, first object 150 may be positioned proximate the 9:00 AM timeline indicator within graphical representation 152 of the calendar. Accordingly, by reviewing graphical representation 152 of the calendar, user 36 may quickly be able to locate photos that were taken on 13 Oct. 2012 (and the time that each photo was taken).

Assume for illustrative purposes that data management process 10 receives 112 an indication (e.g., indication 62) of a second photo (e.g. second digital photograph 60) being uploaded to the web-based resource (e.g. social network 54). Accordingly, data management process 10 may determine 114 a second capture date for the second photo (e.g. second digital photograph 60) and may associate 116 a second object (e.g. second object 154) with second digital photograph 60.

Continuing with the above-stated example, assume that user 36 takes second digital photograph 60 (e.g. another picture of a flower) and uploads the same to social network 54. Data management process 10 may determine 114 a second capture date for second digital photograph 60 (which in this example is also 13 Oct. 2012) and may associate 116 second digital photograph 60 with second object 154 (which in this example is a thumbnail of second digital photograph 60).

Data management process 10 may position 118 second object 154, with respect to first object 150, within graphical representation 152 of the calendar based, at least in part, upon the second capture date. As second digital photograph 60 was taken on 13 Oct. 2012, data management process 10 may position 118 second object 154 within graphical representation 152 of a calendar for 13 Oct. 2012.

Data management process 10 may also determine 120 a second capture time for the second photo (e.g. second digital photograph 60). For example, assume that second digital photograph 60 was taken at 10:30 AM. This second capture time may be defined within indication 62 or may require data management process 10 to examine metadata associated with second digital photograph 60.

If such a second capture time is available for e.g. second digital photograph 60, when positioning 118 second object 154 within graphical representation 152 of the calendar, data management process 10 may position 122 second object 154, with respect to first object 150, within graphical representation 152 of the calendar based, at least in part, upon the second capture date and the second capture time. Accordingly, second object 154 may be positioned proximate the 10:30 AM timeline indicator within graphical representation 152 of the calendar. Accordingly, by reviewing graphical representation 152 of the calendar, user 36 may quickly be able to locate photos that were taken on 13 Oct. 2012 (and the time that each photo was taken). Additionally, user 36 may easily determine that second digital photograph 60 was taken 90 minutes after first digital photograph 56.

As is known in the art, users of social network 54 (e.g., Google+™) may be able to schedule events, wherein an event is a group activity in which multiple users of the social network may get together for a specific purpose. Examples of such events may include but are not limited to: a group of friends getting together for drinks, several people going to a baseball game together, an end of summer party at a person's house, and a concert at a local arena. Additionally, users may be able to check into such events and upload photos to social network 54 that were taken at/associated with such events.

While the above discussion concerns Google+™, this is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be a limitation of this disclosure. For example, event scheduling process 10 may be included within or utilized by any social networking website.

Assume for illustrative purposes that user 36 attends event 156 (e.g. “baseball game with my boys”) and, while tending event 156, user 36 uploads three digital photographs, namely digital photographs 158, 160, 162. Data management process 10 may group digital photograph 158, 160, 162 together (e.g. within event frame 164) to indicate that digital photograph 158, 160, 162 are all associated with event 156.

Referring also to FIG. 4, there is shown a diagrammatic view of computing system 12. While computing system 12 is shown in this figure, this is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be a limitation of this disclosure, as other configuration are possible. For example, any computing device capable of executing, in whole or in part, data management process 10 may be substituted for computing device 12 within FIG. 4, examples of which may include but are not limited to client electronic devices 28, 30, 32, 34.

Computing system 12 may include microprocessor 200 configured to e.g., process data and execute instructions/code for data management process 10. Microprocessor 200 may be coupled to storage device 16. As discussed above, examples of storage device 16 may include but are not limited to: a hard disk drive; a tape drive; an optical drive; a RAID device; an NAS device, a Storage Area Network, a random access memory (RAM); a read-only memory (ROM); and all forms of flash memory storage devices. IO controller 202 may be configured to couple microprocessor 200 with various devices, such as keyboard 206, mouse 208, USB ports (not shown), and printer ports (not shown). Display adaptor 210 may be configured to couple display 212 (e.g., a CRT or LCD monitor) with microprocessor 200, while network adapter 214 (e.g., an Ethernet adapter) may be configured to couple microprocessor 200 to network 14 (e.g., the Internet or a local area network).

As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, the present disclosure may be embodied as a method (e.g., executing in whole or in part on computing device 12), a system (e.g., computing device 12), or a computer program product (e.g., encoded within storage device 16). Accordingly, the present disclosure may take the form of an entirely hardware implementation, an entirely software implementation (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or an implementation combining software and hardware aspects that may all generally be referred to herein as a “circuit,” “module” or “system.” Furthermore, the present disclosure may take the form of a computer program product on a computer-usable storage medium (e.g., storage device 16) having computer-usable program code embodied in the medium.

Any suitable computer usable or computer readable medium (e.g., storage device 16) may be utilized. The computer-usable or computer-readable medium may be, for example but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, device, or propagation medium.
